STAFF REPORT IBD: PTCL is committed in bringing the benefits of Information Communications Technology (ICT) to all segments of the country as it believes in bringing this technology to nook and corner of the country.
These views were expressed by Furqan Qureshi, PTCL Senior Executive Vice President (SEVP) Commercial, while speaking at a telecom conference, themed Next Wave in Telecommunications – The Digitized Society/Consumer.
The event was an annual platform that gathers telecom and IT experts from the industry, the academia and the government to hold dialogues and provide recommendations on key issues facing the IT and telecom sector. The conference focused on the opportunities telecommunications offers, through the collective wisdom and fresh perspectives for adopting best-practices.
He said that such thought provoking platforms enable industry and business leaders to join hands with policy makers to map out a charter to undertake the increasing development challenges.
“PTCL is moving ahead with a vision to make sustainable development in the socio-economic sphere of the country and our ICT platforms are geared towards enabling people to imagine new possibilities, capture new opportunities and reach out to new horizons,” he said.
According to him, the power of ICT must be harnessed to spread virtual education across Pakistan and telecom industry should make this a common goal.
